Lance got off his bike and walked it up a hill????
Okay....so the hill looked like a wall and it was at - what? 13,000 feet? But still.....makes me feel better, next time I push my mtb up a hill!

That was fun to watch. Like you all have said, how manypeople can say they beat Lance? He says he is in "ok" shape?! I can only imagine...I would say he is in pretty awsome shape.

I was riding up Fremont Pass and through Leadville on that weekend, and I couldn't figure out why every other car heading up the pass had a mountain bike on it! When we were riding out of Leadville (Friday before the race) a huge pack of roadies blew past us, probably warming up and trying to acclimate. I like to think that Lance was in the pack. Not knowing anything about the Leadville 100, I was actually wearing a Livestrong jersey. I also like to think that if Lance really was in that pack that he would have dropped back to chat with me.
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

This was Dave Wiens 6th consecutive Leadville win. No wimp there. I think Lance was the first to really push him.

Lance lost by a minute and a half, which is still about ten or thirteen minutes faster than last year's record setting time, when Dave went tire-to-tire with Floyd Landis.

LA looked a bit thicker through the middle than what I'm used to seeing. I bet if he were a few pounds lighter he would have won the thing. I don't think he could be beat if he was in top form.

Yeah. I can only guess but it looked to me like he thought he could do it. The other rider (Wiens?) was making the same time and saving his legs Originally Posted by 7rider
